Steamroller tournaments are designed to be a fun competitive format where players can learn to maximize their army's potential. The Steamroller format requires that a player brings two armies and their respective lists with them. Before a round begins the players exchange lists and review what their opponent's may play. Before the round actually begins both players choose one of their lists to play their opponent. The games are played exactly like a regular game of Warmachine/Hordes with the exception of there are victory points in the situation where neither play can eliminate their opponent's warcaster before the round ends. The entrance fee for the tournament is $5 and prizes will be awarded based on attendance. We will be using the new MkII rules!
